Ligand‐Dependent Locally Excited and Charge‐Transfer Emission in Linear Copper(I) Mesoionic Carbene Luminophores

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Ligand engineering enables precise control of emission in linear Cu(I) complexes by tuning donor–acceptor interactions between electron‐rich amines and π‐accepting mesoionic carbenes. Naphthyl‐substituted carbenes promote locally excited phosphorescence with vibronic structure, whereas electron‐rich amides combined with electron‐poor carbenes favor ...

Grounding Large Language Models for Robot Task Planning Using Closed‐Loop State Feedback

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
BrainBody‐Large Language Model (LLM) introduces a hierarchical, feedback‐driven planning framework where two LLMs coordinate high‐level reasoning and low‐level control for robotic tasks. By grounding decisions in real‐time state feedback, it reduces hallucinations and improves task reliability.
